Well, our Military History is going down a storm after we redressed the window on Tuesday. I know everyone in the shop would like to thank everyone that has browsed and bought books from this extensive display. We would also like to thank the donor of the books who wishes to remain anonymous for such a wonderful donation.
Our other window has also had a facelift and now our music is much more prominent with more to view from outside the window.
We also recently took delivery of some lovely new stationary which is now on sale in the shop.
Yesterday we had a young lady in the shop asking for some sheet music. She was associated with the Norfolk & Norwich Festival and was on a last minute hunt for props for one of the theatres. After some searching we found her some sheets that she was delighted with as they were also from the period when the play is set. She was worried that the cast members or other backroom staff might damage them as she was a musician and new the value of sheet music whereas some of the other theatre people saw them as just props.
She was back today buying yet more sheet music as her worst fears had come true. The sheets were so of the period that they had done away with their original posters in the box office only to rip the fronts off of the sheet music and used these fronts to design a new box office poster! The poor woman was distraught but happy that we had similar stock so that these sheets could then be used for their original purpose, decorating the set.
